Little Big Soldier
The Jackie Chan Experience
June 23 - 27, 2013
A heartbreaking and hilarious escapade spotlighting Chan’s camera-ready charisma and his best script ever, this is the film in which Chan finally proved he’s a real actor, not just an action star.
The best Jackie Chan movie since 1994’s Drunken Master 2, this is the film in which Chan finally proves he’s a real actor, not just an action star. At 56 he can’t do the death-defying stunts anymore, so in Little Big Soldier he trades super-sized spectacle for small-scale combat and his best script ever (it took 20 years of development to reach the screen). Set in ancient China, it centers on a farmer (Chan) who’s drafted into the army and winds up accidentally capturing the enemy general. If he can get his unwilling captive back home he’ll earn his freedom, the only catch being that he’s thousands of miles from safety. It’s a heartbreaking and hilarious escapade, and Chan’s camera-ready charisma has never been put to better use.
